Thomas Tuchel addresses Elliot Anderson's Manchester City transfer interest

Summary

Thomas Tuchel, the England manager, stated that Manchester City's transfer interest in Elliot Anderson should motivate the midfielder rather than distract him. Following a strong performance in England's 3-0 victory over Costa Rica, Tuchel noted Anderson's impressive display amid City's attempts to secure him from Nottingham Forest. City has had two bids rejected, with Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis acknowledging that a sale is likely this summer. Tuchel confirmed his assistant has discussed the matter with Anderson, who is reportedly keen on the move. Negotiations are expected to continue as City seeks to meet Forest's demands for the 23-year-old.
